Your name is Michael Tarrin, an ex marine from Boston, Massachusetts. You normally wear jeans and a black leather jacket over a white button up shirt. Thanks to a traumatic incident you suffered during your tour of duty you keep an M92F pistol in your jacket at all times and often keep a multitool and basic survival kit on you person.
It was a sunny morning in Boston, and you were walking back from the cafe to your car when a black haired man in a leather jacket ran past you, followed by a highly suspicious looking man in a ridiculous amount of Redsox memorabilia, including a foam finger and a fanny pack. Things soon turned for the worst however, as the suspicious man picked up speed and tackled the jacket clad man. As the suspicious man lunged for the other's shoulder you suddenly saw the sunlight glint off of something in his fanny pack.
Your first thought was "Gun" and your second was "Terrorist" before you had a third thought time seemed to slow down, giving you time to plan every move as you drew your pistol and aimed for the "Terrorist"s chest.
"Hey! Get up and put your hands in the air!" you yell toward him. While he didn't follow your instructions, he was distracted long enough for the man in the jacket to get away. The "Terrorist" stood up into a hunched over position like a gorilla and emitted what sounded like a combination of a hiss and a growl before charging at you.
Before he got close enough to attack you, however, you squeezed the trigger three times and jumped to the side as he skidded to a stop on his face.
"Thank you for the distraction but please put the gun away, I don't like guns." you heard someone say from behind you. You whipped around and trained your pistol on the speaker but quickly lowered it and replaced it in your jacket as you saw that it was the man who your attacker had pinned.
"Who was that, a terrorist or a mugger?" you asked him.
"Not who, what, that was a Toniten." he answered
"A what?"you asked, bewildered
"A Toniten, they're a reptilian humanoid with a taste for flesh, and he wasn't to pleased with the fact that I set his friends on fire." said the man. He then turned and began to walk away.
"Who are you any way?" you asked and he answered, "The Doctor"
"Doctor who?" you asked
"Precisely." he answered and continued on his way. You looked over at the "Toniten" to get a good look at what it really was. You turned it over and saw that the guy looked human, but the skin felt weird, as if it was some sort of mask. You looked back at "The Doctor" and saw him point a small device over at the creature. The device glowed blue the end and the creature disappeared. The Doctor turned the corner and walked away.
